I am perfectly fine with that.
I mean its not like Duchene has been bad and is bleeding value by the minute...
And while Milano certainly has surprised me so far its not like he did not also show the things that I was concerned with.
If not for the Canes terrible execution of a 3 on 1 in OT, he would have gone from hero to idiot in a short time span for completely losing his assignment there.
But yeah. He is riding high right now and thats why his mishap basically put him into the position for that breakaway that otherwise wouldn't have happened...
We will see if he can keep it up...
Murray looks pretty good but the concern with him were always his injuries more than anything.
Still don't see the top end potential with him.
Also Chris Bigras has looked pretty good for the Avs at LHD as well to start the season and he plays a somewhat similar game.
So yeah...
Honestly not too sad about it at all...
I'm curious what about Milano you were concerned with?
He is winning board battles and has this amazing ability to take the puck away from the opposition. His defense is very sound in fact Tortorella has called him out for playing good defense multiple times. He has 4 goals in 3 games and oft times he looks like the most skilled player on the Jackets.
I doubt he's available anymore but what isn't he doing?
